Approved Course Grades (Undergraduate)

Letter grades range from A+ to F. Numerical grade points are assigned to each letter grade for the purpose of calculating grade averages, except AU, DI, PA, I, P, PP, T and W.

Grades with grade points assigned are the default grades for courses. Other grades may only be used where this is approved for the course.

Grades should be assigned on the basis of assessment activities established by the instructor at the beginning of the course and completed by the end of the examination period.

Other grades are not included in the calculation of grade averages. They are:

AU, for Audited, may be used when a student satisfactorily completes the requirements set by an instructor for auditing a course. Otherwise the course will be removed from the registration record.

DI and PA, can only be used under the Distinction/Pass/Fail grading system.

I, for Incomplete, is used when completion of a student’s work is necessarily delayed. This grade must be converted to a regular grade at least one working day before the start of the following regular term; otherwise the I grade is converted to F.

P, under the Pass/Fail grading system.

PP, for Permitted to Proceed, may be used at the end of the first term of a two-term course, and for project courses when work is satisfactory but not scheduled to be completed at the end of a term.

T, for Transferred

W, for Withdrawal without Penalty, is used when a student obtains approval to withdraw from a course after the add/drop period.
